When the Sun Dollars exchange rate broke through 130 points, everyone in the Nauritus City trading center cheered.
Jake clenched his fists and yelled, “Bravo!”
At this moment, it was not just their victory. This meant that Sun Dollars had made history and the exchange rate had reached a record low. This was the victory of all shorting parties and it was a feast for global capital.
The moment Sun Dollars fell below 130 points, huge amounts of capital swarmed over.
They had reasons to believe that the defense system of Sun Dollars had been completely broken down. Before the central bank of Sunrise Land used foreign exchange reserves or the head of Sunrise Land issued new orders, Sunrise Land was an undefended treasure and all the wealth in it was free for them to take.
The shorts went crazy. The capitalists went crazy. Everyone went crazy.
Financial magazines and media news all over the world reported this incident frantically.
At this moment, this incident was broadcasted on all financial channels in a state of panic-it totally did not matter what reports it was broadcasting beforehand as they were promptly replaced with this news.
No one thought that the economic system of Sunrise Land, the world’s second-largest economy, could be penetrated so easily.
In sharp contrast to the cheers and celebration of the capitalists from around the world, Sunrise Land was full of sorrow.
A radical media outlet had even made a pessimistic view that Sunrise Land’s economy would collapse, national wealth would be plundered, and the economy of the whole society would be pushed back 20 years. Under such pessimistic views, a large number of people began to gather below the central bank and Softwin for demonstrations.
This was an invisible war, but it was closely tied to every citizen.
Jasper issued the latest order when he saw Sun Dollars continue to avalanche.
“Withdraw!”
It was a simple word, yet, it made the team that was cheering and high fiving each other fell silent all of a sudden.
Everyone looked at Jasper with a look of horror. They were wondering if Jasper had misspoken or if they had misheard.
“Did you not hear me? Withdraw all funds!”
Jasper frowned and repeated.
Jake came back to his senses at this time and shouted, “Execute the order immediately! Execute the order!”
The whole team snapped back to their senses as everyone went back to their posts and started to execute orders. However, their faces were still full of confusion.
The current situation was as if Jasper was leading them to dig a ditch to connect to the river. After so much hard work, the great project would be completed since the largest stone was removed and all that was left was to continue digging for a bit. Yet, Jasper suddenly asked everyone to take their tools and go home for dinner. Some people were confused, some people were puzzled, and a small number of people were even angry, but during this period, they also understood Jasper’s training and authority over the team, so no one dared to violate Jasper’s orders.
***
At this moment, far away in Sunrise Land.
The Softwin headquarters was busy.
“Sir, more people are marching downstairs. Although there are police from the Metropolitan Police Department maintaining order, they can’t stop such a large crowd. A small group of militants are also beginning to stage a sit in in the plaza downstairs.”
